One Pack 101
Dear Parents/Guardians of 9th Grade Students,
We are excited about the opportunity to offer your student Grandview's One Pack 101 course. This course is designed to hone students' academic and social skills as they navigate the first few months of high school. In addition to Grandvies-specific topics, students will also participate in lessons designed to arm them with skills in making healthy decisions, resisting drugs, maintaining positive attendance and academic habits, and setting a strong foundation for a successful high school career. All 9th grade student will take One Pack 101 during the first 45 minutes of their resource period for the first 9 weeks of the school year. Students will earn .25 credits for their mandatory participation. At the conclusion of the course, students who meet the minimum requirements for passing One Pack 101 and maintain academic eligibility will earn their full resource period for the remainder of the year.
One Pack 101 is a pass/fail course. In order to pass, students must do the following:
- Attend class regularly. One Pack 101 teachers will follow GHS policy for unexcused absences and tardies. Students are expected to make up all missed work due to absences. It is the student's responsibility to get work from teachers when absent.
- Behave appropriately. Students are expected to be prompt, present, prepared, productive, polite, and participatory. Behavior issues will be referred to the assigned Dean of Students. Time missed for behavior issues must be made up and will be treated as an absence. Students will receive a Satisfactory (S) grade for completion of the course given the expectations listed above.
Supplies needed - bring to class every day:
- loose leaf paper (which can be left in the classroom)
- pen/pencil
- planner
Sincerely,
Anne Koch - Assistant Principal
